Is sport considered primarily a business or a sport?
Well, it is both, but sometimes one side of the equation is in the ascent.
International cricket has a challenge if it is to remain competitive.
The resources available to the different cricket boards are vastly different.
The cricket boards of these three nations were already the richest three boards.
All of the big three made it to the semifinals of World Cup 2019.
But perhaps it is false comfort.
Instead, the final will be contested between two of the big three.
But even the big three has its own hierarchy.
It’s really a ginormous one and two quite large twos.
Maybe in time the question which has echoed throughout this World Cup of can anyone beat India?
will become more of a pressing, long-lasting issue.
India have most of the money and power in world cricket.
This may work against an interesting, competitive World Cup.
India are also co-hosts of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
These are rather concerning signs.
Can anyone else compete and does anyone care if 1.4 billion fans are satisfied and the money is flowing?
For the sake of the sport, let’s hope those answers are ‘yes’.
